@@BluffaloSam you don’t have to create a problem by inquiring politely what the rule is of the casino unless you know already sometimes even dealers get wrong.
@@BluffaloSam I had a dealer give me my cards back out the muck one time. I was sitting in the 9 seat and looked down at JJ. Raised a limp pot at 1/2 to 25$ and the dealer grabbed my cards and mucked them. I knew it was my responsibility to protect my cards so I was fine with donating my 25 to the pot and moving on, but the dealer called over the floor man who said that if I remembered my cards the dealer could hand the 2 he thought were mine back to me and I coulf play if they were the same 2. I got my JJ back and won a decent pot with a continuation bet.
Wow, I really don't think that should've been done... I've seen the dealer muck hands in the 1 or 9 seat a few times when they were unprotected, if I'm in the hand I usually ask for them to get their money back
mic "fix" sounds good. I was going to comment earlier that it sounds like you are recording from inside a water tank (echo chamber), but figured I was so many vlogs behind it was probably sorted out. and it is!
1) Players at the table should never comment on another players NON tabled hand. HUGE no no. Don't ever do it. 2) Terrible job by the dealer, comment coming from a dealer. You wait. Wait until all players show or muck. Then actually muck the cards. Then count any remaining chips if needed. Don't leave any cards, face up or face down on the felt. 3) Once the fiasco is underway however... calling the floor the way to go. 4) 99% of places I've heard of, your cards would've been live. 5) Good content, keep up the good work.
I agree with 1, but he did say after he made the comment because he thought I was lying about having a set. I also agree with 2, but I imagine it's quite a monotonous job and you sometimes skip steps/get careless when something goes so smoothly routinely everytime, until something does mess up. So I can't fault someone for making a small mistake like that. Thanks for the comment though :)
Agree with what you both say here. But the one thing is that other players should most definitely not be getting involved in your hand. Again. Great day and great video
@@austinshafer2848 you say that, but rooms all over have very strange rules. I have one that I started dealing at, no dark action. No checking dark, no betting dark. Basically unenforceable, but it's still on the book almost 20 years later. And if theirs is "releasing cards over the line is considered a muck", you're basically out of luck and floor did him a solid. Which is why I pointed to the dealer doing a poor job. Player releases their cards over the line face down, you're taught to immediately grab them and muck them to avoid any issues.
Wow what a day for you!! Awesome!! Also love how you and the other guy handled that hand. I do believe you would do the same, you seem like a stand up dude. Love the video and the BRC and hope you get some more subscribers cos your videos are great! One thing, idk if you can but maybe make the hole cards a bit bigger if possible, when I’m driving and watching it’d make it easier for me 😂😂
New sub, I enjoy new poker vlogers.Good stuff. One critique, I would double check your sound quality. Gain seems a little high, also if you suspend the mic off your desk your mashing of the keyboard might sound less distracting. I assume you’re skipping through hand notes? Sound blankets might reduce the echo as well.
I'll youtube a tutorial to setup the gain/EQ I thought this one was sounding better, but always looking to improve! I use the right arrow to move the hand notation actions along, maybe a small cloth on the backside of the mic will dampen it completely.
Your cards face down were barely over the line I don’t know how that was a muck I thought they had to be face down where the flop turn and river cards are idk I woulda called the floor over. Mistakes happen misreading boards. I woulda fought the dealer’s ruling and bought the guy a beer lol
Ehh, the way I released the cards I think it's clearly a fold, the dealer just didn't muck the cards right away seems a bit much to stack someone because a dealer didn't muck right away.
Based on the way you play and some of your reasoning, I suspect you've received some coaching and/or read some strategy books? If books, which books have you read that you'd recommend?
AJ hand shows the problem with large RFI sizing. Your SPR on the flop is less than 4. Imo, AP bet a bit larger on the flop so your river bet isn't an overbet. I think pot or slight overbet is more likely to be called on the turn than on the river. A8s: Weird solver thing is that they tend to bet top two and bottom two, while playing top and bottom pair more passively. JJ: Why do you keep checking on A turns? Those are good for your range and you do not block his Ax! Just bet. And bet big! You can do this with T8cc, QT, etc., too. Protect your draws! I'd bet 80 on this turn. Regarding your commentary about the river overbet: I overbet bluff on the river a LOT. And everyone thinks the same thing you do - it's never a bluff. How many times have you folded to a big river bet and been shown a bluff? I have seen several. 88: No casino I have heard of considers your hand irretrievable in this kind of situation. Most casinos will let you retrieve your cards even if they have touched other cards in the muck as long as it is obvious which cards are yours. You should have just taken the pot or chopped it at worst. "there was an extensive discussion on this topic ... because alot of members wanted clarification on how it should be handled if a player elects to muck face down at showdown.... Where that discussion was left was that it is appropriate for the dealer to respect the muck of ANY player at showdown, and formally kill the hand by putting it to the muck. Keep in mind that the mere verbal declare 'I fold' (or any other verbal utterance) does not kill a hand because *the word 'fold' has no meaning at showdown, because we're not parsing words at showdown, we're reading cards and letting them speak. As long as the cards have not been killed by the dealer they can be tabled by the player and are live* ." Great win!
AJ - A hand like AJ really likes low SPRs, a lot of those high card hands excel there where they can make strong 1 pair type hands and pile the money in. I rarely bet over 33% pot multiway unless I'm using a very reliable exploit. River was about 80% pot to jam all in though, or are we talking about different hands? A8s - That's interesting, I assume top two likes to cooler other 2 pairs, bottom 2 needs protection, and it's nice to have some two pairs in our check back/call down range? JJ - Since my flop bet was so small, I'd have tons of Ax to continue betting here OTT. I like these nutted hands to protect KK/QQ here. I've never seen an overbet river bluff, I rarely ever see river bluffs at 1/3, must be different player pools, Vancouver is quite tight at low stakes. 88 - Just unfortunate, didn't seem like the right thing to do to retrieve the cards like that after my action was clearly me folding, happy to take back my bet there tbh. Thank you Eric!!
Sam, new to the vlog. I think since your card went over the line. Its a muck. You made the mistake. The other fella was nice enough not to win that way after your opened, after the cards went over. Mistakes are made all the time on the table. You should have owned up and paid the man. And since all in pot, you should have just opened. You had a set. People dont show after all in due to being embarrassed of that they are holding. But 2 players agreed to do what they wanted to do. The pitt boss did the right thing.
I was going to pay him, but the other player kept declining. Just a messy situation, I always table my cards right away, not sure why I didn't this time. Definitely a costly mistake!
Real talk, you're never going to get anywhere in this game if you don't figure out preflop. Rake is huge at this stake, you're just playing too loose and if you don't run this hot you're just going to get killed long run and have a lot to relearn at higher stakes.
I'm winning at a rate of 14bb/100 at 1/3. And I've lost (I'm pretty sure) every 1k+ pot I've played at this stake in this challenge so far. I think people get way too caught up in the "Oh, solver says this hand isn't an open at these rake structures" forgetting how soft these fields are. If you wanted to go as tight as a solver recommends, did you know that facing a 4x UTG open 100bb deep with this rake strucutre that JJ in the CO is a 90% fold?
You have got to be kidding. You're talking about splitting river sizes but then want to say that trying to play well preflop based on solver outputs and rake structure is silly... you 3bet 97s from mp like it was 2003 in the last episode. If your goal is to be a 1/3 reg then power to you.

your cards were never in the muck - you have it on video yourself. never remotely close, honestly. That was your pot, and you handled that situation terribly. It is evident you are newer to live poker. always double check and protect your hand to avoid that. Your cards are not "dead" until they are in, or around, the muck.

The dealer should have collected them right away, and I don't want to win just because the dealer went to count his chips because she thought I had folded, and auto piloted to counting his chips.

Weird deal on the 8’s hand. Supposed to be live there till the hand touches the muck.
Casinos near me cards are only dead once scrapped in to the muck by the dealer
way to settle it like Gents.
